While his appointment has become the talk of the corporate world, his family members back home are proud of his achievement. “I am delighted and overwhelmed. I am thankful to God for the feat he has achieved. This is the result of his dedication, hard work and passion,” said Rajeev’s mother over phone from New Delhi.

Subsequently, he completed his MBA from Sloan School of Management, a business school of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) after which he joined Merrill Lynch. He is in the board of both University of Pennsylvania and MIT.
